Queer Diary: Zine-Making Evening

Grab a pritt-stick and join the Queer Diary team for an evening of nostalgia, crafting & chance to create your own personal Queer Teenage History Zine!

Design the teen mag you wish you’d read
Collage your fantasy prom-night
Create a fanzine for your first crush
Write a letter to your younger self
Draw a coming-of-age cartoon

Or simply sit and doodle with a friendly queer crowd, to a throwback soundtrack.
Bring your pals, your date, or come alone to meet some new friendly faces.
All crafting materials are provided by us:
Paper + pritt stick + scissors + felt-tips + gel pens + pencils + stencils 🖍
+ a load of old teen mags to cut up & re-cycle into your own queer-tastic zine ✂️✂️
We also provide instruction (how to fold a basic zine) and zine-spiration in the form of some zines we’ve enjoyed, and some we’ve made before, along with a collaborative playlist, where you can add your own fave throwback tracks from your teenage years.
If you wanna use your own life as inspiration, we invite you to bring something you’ve kept from your past: a favourite object, a picture, a song, or treasured memory* to use as inspiration on turning them into a Queer-tastic Zine (this is not required – just if you want to!)
🎟 All tickets to this event are Pay What You Can – booking is essential and spaces are limited, if you can no longer make it, please let us know in advance so we can free up a place for somebody else.
